BFS exists for those who prefer baitcasting reels, before BFS you had to use a spinning reel to throw lightweight lures now I don’t have to use a spinning reel I can just grab my BFS reel combo. If you don’t like baitcaster then just continue to use your spinning reel but I wouldn’t call it a scam again simply put just allows anglers who prefer baitcasters to throw light lures

The only advantage to BFS setups is when you get a headwind against your feather light ultralight lure mid-cast, causing the lure to stall and stop mid-flight, and your BFS baitcaster reel bird nests because of how fast your super-light weight BFS baitcaster spool was spooling out when the ultralight lure stalled mid-flight, SO COOL! WAIT A MINUTE!!! That doesn't sound like an ADVANTAGE to BFS baitcaster setups! EXACTLY!!!😂🤣😅 Just another "get off my lawn" old man joke Jeff. This is truly an AWESOME VIDEO! PROPS to Ethan at Mule Fishing and the Rebel classics!!!

People who don’t like BFS aren’t good at BFS. The most fun I’ve had was catching a 6lb largemouth on my castaway XL 6’8 rod on 4 pound line

Another fun video. I love the wildlife at the end. This year in one day I saw an bald eagle, a Blue herring and a mink. You never know what you’ll see. I love all your videos!

fishing bfs/ultralight is all i've ever known. wading small rivers and steams for trout and what ever is biting.

Caught my first bass ever as a kid on the mepps aglia. Been hooked ever since

Awesome video I really enjoyed it. I use tiny Rapala poppers, thinking they're one inch. Rooster Tails, love them. Also, I'm a big fan of the Mule micro spinners. I don't have a BFS set up but I have nothing against it. My combo is a medium light spinning set up, 10 pound power pro with a 8 or 6 pound leader. I recently recieved my order of Rebel Crickhoopers can't wait to try one today. Nerd fishing is so much fun.

Im a budget person so what i have been using for texas rig hook is the do-it wacky hooks and the owner screwlock in the small size fits the size 2 and the size 6.the size 2 is good for the 3in dinger and the 6 is good with trout worms

Bfs has just been fun for me and love the accuracy/control with the casting. Solid video good sir!

thanks for the video, this helped me out figure out what kind of tackle to look for. I live in maryland, so im not so sure how useful this info will be, but last night i was crushing it on a pink underspin 1/16th crappie jig with a white trailer on it (grub for me) white perch and stripped bass were SMASHING that thing last night. i have never caught so many white perch over a foot long and the strippers seemed to enjoy it too! biggest fish i got were a 15 inch stripped bass and a massive 13 inch white perch, all on crappie baits. anyway, thanks for the advice and getting me into the right mind from when starting my bfs journey, all of your videos were immensely helpful. You two are rule!

Happy Friday nerds!!

I picked up some used Japanese bfs reels and some aftermarket spool conversions years ago and while not the cutting edge they are a lot of fun to fish and I have started taking a very short ultralight bfs set up with me along with an ultralight spinning set up when I am hiking mountain streams for native brook trout. If you fish bass and trout it's nice to have a rig in the car that is compact light and works just about anywhere the opportunity arises. I used to keep one in the trunk of the taxi I drove in case I dropped off an airport passenger near a good fishing hole. It's nice being ready to take advantage of the opportunity even if you only have a short time to fish. I even carried a little rod and reel in my wine delivery truck because occasionally my route would finish early in an advantageous location for me to get my hands slimed on my way back to the warehouse. Often it was a very quick trip and a spur of the moment decision made as I approached a bridge and read the sign "I've heard about this river, always wanted to fish here, one more cast still home by dark lol"

I’ve got to say I’ve been itching to try out the Ned jig from pig jigs and I’ve also been wanting to try his new jig the little buddy. It’s a ball head jig with an EWG.

I love it. I have two BFS combos. I also have lures in kit.

It's basically ultra light fishing for bass fishing. I would definitely give it a try. I know the Chinese started bfs because the bass are more skittish and reluctant to bite normal baits.

Good for almost all species, not just boring bass!

I know this is super late but if you guys see this. You can try the plano 350022, their 3500 double sided box, it holds roughly 2 3500 trays worth of tackle plus it can hold spinnerbaits, I like having those small strike king mini pond baits with me and for my kayak I can hold everything for both bfs and select options for full sized without needing an extra box.

I have loved BFS fishing since I first heard about it... 40 YEARS AGO... when it was called "ultralight fishing"... and it used simple spinning rods and reels. 😂 Just some sarcasm guys, now GET OFF MY LAWN!!! (Another old man joke... but I'm only 48).

I found out by accident while I was "out of town" that Owner makes a hook file (HF-11A) that's sized for the cards used in the hook bags. Limited capacity but enough for a minimal load out. 28:27

In my humble opinion the only advantage BFS brings over untralite spinning is how fast you can re-cast. I can throw all of the same lures with my spinning rod 🤷🏿‍♂️

To be honest I got into after watching your video I’m into big bass etc but get boring when the don’t bait and also having a son who gets bored fast bfs is great for him and gives us a good time going for multiple species no matter what the size and price what isn’t expensive with this administration so I enjoy it and my time with my kid instead of him playing Fortnite he enjoys bfs

Mepps are killer, I have some that are maybe 40 years old or more, but the tiny hooks are a no no for me around bass. Have had to dispatch more than I wanted to due to hook damage in gills. These things will catch fish on the 1st cast if they are there though.

bfs makes sense , Bass are not the hardest fighting fish compared to other game fish. What is the average time to bring in a bass? even a big one? 30 seconds maybe. Most times a bass is motor boated in.

Jeff just wondering would you recommend the Varivas .6 braid which is I think 14.6 lb test. It’s the most expensive “premium “ line I’ve ever seen. Or would you just say heck with it and use the smaller Power Pro in a 2lb diameter which is 10lb test? And thank you for going over the baits in this video. I know y’all don’t really do a lot of panfishing, but would y’all consider doing a panfish bfs video? Also I have the exact Zephyr setup just not put the RoRo bearings in my Zephyr yet.

What I do to peg weight is to get a 6in piece of wire and bend in half then put threw sinker then use toddler rubber band and snip so you have a straight piece then put in loop of wire and pull threw sinker then cut tag end .this is good cause I'm a bank fisherman and you can fish cover with the sinker next to bait and when you get to open water you can slide sinker up and fish like a Carolina rig

When I was young bait was organic, lures were metallic, plastic, or wood. Now, from bass fishing, everything is a “bait”. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses. BFS is great if you are more comfortable with casting reels, or want to ensure better control and straighter lines.

I really like BFS fishing. It's not your father's ultralight type of rig. It's a snoopy size bait casting rig. That is crisp, responsive & has some backbone. They are more accurate to cast than a spinning rod & so much more fun.

Again bfs (baitcast) setups are just a scam to dip into anglers pockets deeper lol but... ultra light finesse fiahing is legit fun multi species fishing. I was doing that since o was a kid and still do it sometimes just for a change of pace from bass fishing. But i stick to spinning gear that i can also use for bass fishing.
